The Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections, OF which MIR. Charles T..
Jones, OF Highland, is chairman, held
its first meeting Friday afternoon and
proceeded 10 tho consideration Of the
papers in the contest Of Mr.. Ellis for the
seat now held by Mr. Houston, from the
Roanoke district. Dir. H. b. Munford,
counsel for the contested, was out OF the
city. Mr. Henry Gibson, Of Roanoke,
appeared us counsel for Houston. Ex-
Senator Marshall was present, but took
no part.
The committee did not remain in ses-
sion very long, and only considered one
question-whether il was necessary in
making the contest TO file notice within
ten days after the election, as required
by tho statute. No vote was taken, but
there was q general expression OF opin-
iou, and ali agreed that such notice was
not OF imperative necessity. This, Of
course, does not indicate which way the
case viii be decided--it only allows tho
contest 70 be made as prayed 10y the pc
titioncr.
The committee will meet some day
this week and look further into the
matter.
From political standpoint this con-
test is very important one, as when the
present Legislature goes ont, OF the

the libel suits of J. C. Greeley against
Charles H. Jones. In the first suit, which
was based on the satirical speech the plain
tiff filed an amended declaration, and the
defendants were granted ten days IN wnlch
to plead over again. The second suit went
to trial. Damages claimed, $50, 600. Very
little evidence was submitted in the case,
it turning mainly on technical points OF law:
c. H. Jones was placed on the stand and
testified to the circumstances surrounding
the publication of the alleged hbelous arti-
Gle in the heat of the campaign. However,
most Of his testimony as Offered was ruled
out on the technical points Of law. The ad-
dresses to the jury by counsel on both sides
were exceptionally able. After being out
little less than an hour, the jury brought In
a verdict for the plaintiff of $1,000 Motion
| for a new trial was entered on the ground
that the article was not libelous, that the
verdict of the jury was contrary to the EVIL
| dence, and that the damages assessed were
excessive The case will be carried up to
the Supreme Court
Palatka Nel0s: Last winter we wrote an
account of some wise Florida buzzards, sut-
| fering with cold, warming themselves by
the fishermen's fires across the river That
story has been published in nearly every
newspaper in the country, and the follow
| ing, which actually took place few days
| since, will give second chapter on the in
telligence of the despised and detested buz-
zard: While party was out fishing at
Lochloosa a short time since, a large
| alligator was shot, which sank to the
bottom and remained there until it
died. When the carcass came
to the surface the buzzards soon discovered
| it, and they swarmed about in large num-
bers. The breeze kept the lake in such
ripple, however, that they could not keep
foothold on the body Of the gator, as it
| turned and ioated with every wave The
| Florida buzzard is a shrewd Bird and his
reasoning powers are much greater than he
has ever gained credit for. Bafied by the
wind and waves, and hungry from fruitless
! efforts to anchor the gator, the birds held
consultation. As a result, two of them flew
at the gator, and fastening their talons on
the body, they spread their wings,
sail-fashion, and plotted the carcass
to the shore of the lake, where
the flock made hearty meal. The buzzard
is not pretty bird, nor is he known in song
and story like the American eagle. His
name brings up the suggestions of bad
| odors, and he is never made a pet of or shown
| that kindness and consideration accorded
more favored birds, but when it comes
| down to good, hard mule sense and practi
cal and calculating ingenuity, he can dis
count all his kin, notwithstanding his we'll
known reputation for dullness and stupid
| ity. The Florida buzzard is entitled to the

snake discovered me and stopped. The rab-
bit ran on Immediately in front of the
snake without taking notice of my
presence and then stopped. The
snake placed himself in a striking position
and both remained quiet for a time Finally
/ drew my stick to hit the rabbit. when it dis
covered me and ran off. The rabbit looked
upon me as an enemy, or friend and
deliverer, or perhaps its instinct taught him
that the snake was its destroyer and was so
charmed that it could not resist the mag
netic influence until there was a mediator
at hand; or perhaps its instinct taught it
that the king snake was the destroyer of
other snakes that fed upon birds, rabbits,
ETC., and looked upon the king snake as
protector. To say the least, it was strange
thing.
Booth Couch and Tom Burdett are resi-
dents of Senoia, and both have their circle
Of friends. They are also neighbors. Sew
eral days ago Burdett and Couch had some
little dispute over a trivial matter, in which
Burdett cursed Couch pretty severely.
Couch brooded over the matter, and
Wednesday afternoon resolved that he would
make Burdett retract what he had said.
But in order to do this he first filled up on
whisky. Couch saw Burdett in a store talk
ing WIN some 1rlendS, ana. waking up TO
him, remarked: an give you Just five min
| utes to retract what you called me" and
without waiting for Burdett to reply, Couch
pulled his pistol and fired twice, the first
ball entering the left breast, struck rib,
and glanced to the right, while the second
entered the groin, ranging downward.
| Burdett is a carpenter by trade and was on
his way home when he encountered Couch.
| When the second shot was fired he reached
70, hat no hoA ,N1a 4l,a
counter and with one tremendous blow
| struck Couch in the neck. The force which
propelled the Ratchet must have been ter
| rible to an extreme, as COUGHS head was al
most entirely severed from his body. Couch
| then fired two more shots and expired.
| Those who witnessed the affair say that it
was justifiable homicide, Mr. Burdett,
| while dangerously wounded and suffering
great pain, will, the attending physicians
| say, recover.

Whether or not the acts were committed by
| students is not known, but If so we are strong
and united in our condemnation of them.
The above resolutions were adopted by
full meeting Of the students. The senti-
ment is strong among the students in con-
sideration of these outrages, and the meet
ings was unanimous in the endorsement Of
the committees report.
Monday night was a very exciting one
with our police force. Reports received
during the day gave grounds for the belief
| that the students would attempt fresh out
breaks that night, and to meet an emergenJ
| cy Mayor Hodgson decided TO put on sew
eial extra policemen. They were told to
act with GOODNESS and judgement, but
| preserve the dignity of the city at
all hazards. About dark the ex-
element was increased by a prominent gen
| tleman reporting TO Capt. Oliver that he
overheard n conversation between some stu
dents, in which they stated that they had
bought lot of powder and intended to do
some destruction as soon as dark came.
Squads of men were detailed TO patrol diff
fcrent parts OF the city, and il seemed. too,
that there was some need of this precaution,
for strong bands Of students were reported
as congregating in out-of-the-way places and
silently marching out of the campus in q
most suspicious manner. One of the town
boys got greatly excited, and urged Capt
OhVer 10 charge the campus and capture a
few of the offenders and lock them up in the
calabcose, but that officer declined TO take
such steps unless something was done TO
authorize it, and somehow none of the adj
visers would volunteer 70 bell the cat. But
happily the night passed without any dis
turbancc. 1t is thought that the boys wanted
TO give the police little annoyance, and to
tins end acted so as 70 arouse suspicion. On
the other hand most OF tho students express.
ed regret at the steps they have taken, and
we predict there viii DO no further out
break.

STUDENTS IN SESSION.
Discussing the Charges Laid at Their
Door.

From the Athens Ca Banner Wdtchnsdn.
Tuesday the students of the university
were discussing the published accounts of
the demonstrations of Saturday night with
various expressions of disapproval The
boys seemed to think that the accounts of
the police did them great injustice in that
the armed turnout was no announcement of
disorder, but only a Saturday night frolic
in which they had taken advantage of the
Chancellor's absence and broken into the
armory for a few old rusty guns. The
arms, they declare, were harmless, being
rusty muZzle leaders, devoid of cartridge
and innocent of caps. 1t was lark without
the semblance of riot or the thought of dis
order They marched to the institute
and hurrahed, after which they yielded to
the advice of friends in town and returned
to the campus and dispersed. They deny
that the ladies at the institute were alarmed
or signaled the police, and declare that the
teachers there were more amused at the drill
than otherwise, and considered it a take-off
on the Salvation Army, Ia They seemed to
regret that some of the citizens and officers
construed the turnout into an attempt to
riot. lF ggtIr
At the Monday afternoon meeting on the
campus the students inquired into the dep
rotations at the institute last week and ap-
I pointed a committee TO find out what
they were and to report resolutions. A COM
mittee accordingly called on Miss Ruther-
ford, principal of the institute, and assured
her of their regret at the reports which had
reached them. Miss Rutherford thanked
them for their attention and they assured
her of their interest and cooperation in re-
lieving her of these annoyances. We be-
lieve hedge cutting, blocking the goats and
rocking the flower pits constitute the worst
of these grievances. These are bad enough,
and meeting was called last night to con
denim these pranks and to give the Saturday
night affair their version.
At the meeting the following letter was
read.
